Not "someone", the administrator. It makes sense to me: the purpose is
to keep *other users* from accessing your files. This may be a bad policy
decision, but it is not a technically bad solution. There are many other
cases in which you'd want to ensure more than one person can access
encrypted files, especially in the case where something happens to
one of them (the old "hit by a truck" scenario). I personally don't
think this is one of the cases that warrants such a system, but I
don't use Win2K so I can't really say for sure.
